KANSAS CITY, Mo. – UMKC Athletics and Arvest Bank announced on Thursday the release of a fan experience app that will change how Roos fans follow the team. The newly-developed app by From Now On – UMKC Roos Athletics – is now available for free download on the App Store® and Google PlayTM and allows fans to follow live statistics and scores for the UMKC men's and women's basketball teams in real-time during games. Future developments are planned to further enhance the app.

Fans also have access to team rosters, player and coach biographies, game schedules, special game day offers and other information created specifically for UMKC fans. The app was created by From Now On and was made possible through a collaboration with Arvest Bank.

"We are excited to further the connection of our fans to our teams through this app as we continually explore ways to enhance the game day and fan experience,” UMKC Director of Athletics Carla Wilson said. “We look forward to expanding its use and sincerely thank Arvest Bank for their support of UMKC Athletics."

“Arvest is excited to sponsor this innovative tool that will add to the game day experience for Roos fans,” said Mark Larrabee, President and CEO of Arvest Bank in Greater Kansas City. “The app is easy to use and has several great features. They are really going to enjoy it!”
